Hi can any one help me please.

I have seen a painting done by a local artist in Gravesend showing New Road 1905. The card in the window say's the painting was taken from a picture of that time. As you look at the picture it shows Creed's Clothes Stores on the left.
Please could anyone help me with this. I am currently doing family tracing and would like to get a copy of the photo / postcard.
I could not go in and ask who the painter was as the shop was closed and I do not live in Gravesend.

Any help would be appeciated.

Thanks Sco

John

Hi Chris
I have looked through the 2 books I have of Gravesend there are quite a few photos of New Road but none of them are the particular one you want but if you can let me have your Email address I will look in the local library and see if they have that one. Was the shop you saw the picture in , Manor Road a little through street
